The Fairbanks Genealogical Society meets on the 4th Tuesday of the month during these months; September, October, November, January, February, March, April, and May.
We will be meeting both in person and on Zoom for most meetings. Members will receive an email link to the Zoom meeting the day before.
Our mission is to share and enjoy the study of genealogy, provide assistance to people with ancestry in Alaska (and beyond) and to locate and preserve genealogical and historical data to make available for future generations.
*We would be honored to attend your Fairbanks history related event.*
DO NOT THROW AWAY your photos or documents, even if you cannot identify the people! We will be glad to document them for current or future research.
Our programs are free to attend, even if you are not a member. If you enjoy family history, local history, and genealogy, you’ll love attending our meetings. We would also love to hear your family story.
We are happy to host history walks at the Clay Street Cemetery if a group would like to meet there. The walks are free but we do accept donations for the FGS. School groups are welcome. In the winter, we can do a slide show presentation instead of being outside. The topic can be history of the cemetery and area, or the people buried there.
